Dear Tomb Raider Community,

As you may have seen, we’ve just announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015, is exclusively on Xbox. We consider all of you to be the lifeblood of Tomb Raider and the work we do at Crystal. I’d like to give you some insight into this decision, and why we feel this is the very best thing for the Tomb Raider sequel we’re creating at the studio.

Tomb Raider in 2013 was a success due in large part to your continued support. Our goal has always been to deliver something truly special with Rise of the Tomb Raider. Today’s announcement with Microsoft is one step to help us put Tomb Raider on top of action adventure gaming. Our friends at Microsoft have always seen huge potential in Tomb Raider and have believed in our vision since our first unveil with them on their stage at E3 2011. We know they will get behind this game more than any support we have had from them in the past - we believe this will be a step to really forging the Tomb Raider brand as one of the biggest in gaming, with the help, belief and backing of a major partner like Microsoft.

This doesn’t mean that we’re walking away from our fans who only play on PlayStation or on PC. Those are great systems, with great partners, and amazing communities. We have Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris coming to those platforms this December, and Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition is available on PS4.

We know that there are probably many more questions and concerns. Please do send them to us, and we’ll answer to the best of our ability. Meanwhile we’re going all out to try and make something truly special - the most ambitious Tomb Raider game ever built.

Thanks,

Darrell Gallagher
Crystal Dynamics Head of Studios

Feels like a huge slap in the face to me.

*edit*

Atleast I can still play Uncharted 4!

I can't believe anyone at Crystal Dynamics or Square Enix thinks this is a good decision. Sales for the reboot were lowest on Xbox. As a longtime fan I'm very disappointed. This is so anti-consumer. I can only hope it'll come to PC eventually, or as others say, is a timed exclusive.

It's a parody account, but still funny!

This will come to PC, and most likely also PS4 eventually, it will just take them time to realize what a mistake they made.
 
Anyone know the difficulty of developing for PC primarily, and then porting to console from there?

I feel like games that are designed for PC can take advantage of much more complex things that console games.
 
ma se poes!

oh well will catch the let's play's on whatever video web page cause I ain't buying the xb one

:( XBONE was the only platform I didn't intend on getting this generation. I just geared up with a PS4 and a brand new gaming PC and now I read one of my most anticipated games isn't being released on either platform.

They're still being vague about whether it's a permanent exclusive. I wouldn't give up hope yet.
